Mars is the Red Planet: its dust is full of rusty iron. This page shows the white ice caps at the north and south poles, the long canyon called Valles Marineris across the middle, and Olympus Mons, the tallest volcano in the solar system, with three more volcanoes beside it. Its two small, lumpy moons, Phobos and Deimos, are in the corners. Use reds, oranges and browns.
